for the last ten years whenever a man became a candi date for any office and desired the suf frages of the people the lirst step he would take was to impress upon the minds of all voters the belief that he was oppos ed to the payment of old debts that he had always loved the homestead law and that he loved and revered it still and that he would sooner part from his wife . nd children than vole for its repeal so strong was the belief in it asan all-popu lar electioneering theme that almost every ex-member of our legislature when asking for re-election would claim to be its father or souk very near rela tive of its father but thanks be to heav en such cannot be the way much longer thi people are fast learning not to adore but to execrate it ihey having been dc aeived and bamboozled and told even by the supreme court of our state that it would hold good against all debts wheth er created before or after ils ratification the writer of this very well remembers an instance whicli occurred last summer ot a gentleman of line abilities and long experience as a legislator who came very near loosing ids election by claiming to be the father of this ill-begotten horribly deformed semi-defunct baby under a misapprehension that such a course would enhance i.i popularity it is hoped that all candidates who may be hereafter fool hardy enough to desire to shoulder the paternity of such cadaverous monsters will meet defeat commensurate with their j nonsense now the writer docs not suspect that i the homestead law can or will be repealed immediately : but he does think and hope j that the people of north carolina desire i repeal ami are ripe in readiness for it its repeal would give new vitality and energy lo all tin laudable pursuits of men it would cast into the tire all

would throw every man upon his own resources and teach him thai through honesty industry eeouoniy and prudence he can succeed ; ind thai otherwise lie ought not and need imi expect success he hopes

infamous wrong â€” wash/ngirm post one step too far the sharp rise in the new york money market as noticed in tuesday afternoon's quotations appears to create some surprise among business men and naturally they seek for a solution of the cause on re viewing the financial movements of the past fortnight it is not hard to find howev i er and equitably stated it is the result of a btep taken by secretary sherman that no j matter how well intentioned is one in ad vance of what the country needed we re fer to the issue of the 10 certificates the remarkable sale of which is violently con tracting the currency the financial re ports of the new york daily papers show that during the past week the banks of that city have lost 806,000 in legal ten ders the surplus reserve has again been reduced over i 000.000 loading but about one-fourth ofa million over the reserve now required by law in other words one more week of such work would leave the new york banks without any reserve whatever and thus place them in the same position as those of new orleans were placed a few weeks ago as above stated this is the resnlt of a blunder on the part ofthe secretary of the treasury the issue of these certificates was intended expressly for sale to the poorer class by which means they could invest their savings with a greater degree of se curity than in rotten savings banks and that the certificates should be confined ex clusively to this class the sales to each were limited in amount this safeguard amoun ted to nothing for ns stated daily in the press the applicants clothed in rags were but the agents of bankers and speculators millions are drawn daily in this manner from the cities and villages of the land wherever they are sold and from all tliese places there conies a sudden and unnatural demand for legal-tenders this drain un like the ordinary outflow which is both caused and compensated by commercial movements takes away currency to be em ployed in this systematic fraud until it gets locked up in the treasury and unless the greatest care is taken the powerful con traction resulting from this unnatural and discreditable process will cause serious trouble this blunder on the nail of secretary sherman should be rectified immediately by withdrawing the certificates altogether â€” he should know by this time that it is im possible to prevent wholesale disregard of the law and of his orders and the futility of any attempt to prevent the organized capital ofthe country from absorbing the profits of these sales has been fully demon strated ami another thing as long as the certificates are wi rth over :! per cent more than the legal-tenders demand for them the government is robbing itself for the benefit of speculators and bankers we are disposed to credit secretary sher man with iu nest and benevolent motives in advocating and securing the issue of these certificates but at tha same time it would appear that lie was endeavoring to score a point for popularity during the presidential race thus killing two birds with one stone should this appendage to his financial plan be still adhered to a*a forming a part of the whole we apprehend that when the trouble breaks as break it will his popularity will take wings and vanish â€” ral neics senator vance at lynchburg senator vance spoke to a large audience at the annual tobacco

was conspicuously and essentially a j practical common sense address full of sound logic intersperccd with his charac teristic wit and clothed in the most choice ' language perhaps no address on a

city yesterday from washtngton whither he went to testify before the wallace former ly known as the teller committee a part ofhis testimony was published in yesterday morning's observer judge mackey was one of that class of re publicans who refused to affiliate with the corrupt class of radicals repre sented by scott chamberlain et id ornne genus and threw hisstrength in favor of hampton he was subse quently elected judge by a democra tic legislature judge mackey has been in wash ington for ten days and has had full opportunity of finding out the situa tion of affairs at the capital he talks remarkably well and freely express ed his opinion on the situation at washington to a gronpe of gentle men collected at the central hotel yestesday ae is convinced that by saturday or monday at furthest the democrats will have decided to pass the appropriation bills and go before the country on the manly efforts they have made to dispense with troops at the polls and in favor of free elec tions as to the bill abolishing the jurors test oath which he considers far more important he says that the president told him in the con versa ion day be fore yesterday morning that he would sign it as soon as it was presented to him that he had said this much at the meeting of the cabinet on the day before me says further that the element in congress which urges a refusal to pass the appropriation bills in the hope of compelling the president to accede to their demands as to the riders is composed almost entirely of the northern democrats the south ern element inclines to the opinion that it would be unwise to adopt this course for the reason that the repub licans would be able to gain some thing at the north at least by their cry of revolution the logical se quence of this judge mackey argues would be to stop the wheels of gov ernment entirely close all the depart ments disband the arm_v and call in the national ships of war from the high seas the actual result he claims would be that northern republican capitalists would offer to furnish the means to run tht government and would then cry out that they had saved lhe republic he represents senators hampton and rut ler as favoring the policy of passing the appropriation bills and as expressing the opinion that the democrats have nothing to fear in going before the people with their record mr hayes trouble he thinks is that he is under the control ofthe worst element of this party and has struggled with his conscience against the party necessity he has been pursuaded to think that the demo cratic party in the south is nothing else than the old confederate army without the uniform ; that it is full fledged and ready to fly at the first fair day senator hampton he says will make his first speech in a few days and will have a word to say about con federate brigadiers woitns â€” professor max fuller quotes the statement of a clergyman that some of tiie laborers in his parish had not 300 words in their vocabulary a well-educated per son seldom uses more than about 3,000 or 4.000 words in actual conversation ; accu rate thinkers and close reasoncrs who se lect with great nicety the words that ex

very worst perversions of this be neficence may be found in that degen erated custom commonly known by the term treating possibly its or igin may be tracked back to spontane ous generosity but if so how widely has it diverged from the first princi ples ofthe admirable virtue which gave it birth but who would have the effrontery to claim that it is a generous motive which prompts men to tempt their fellow-men strangely enough he is sometimes called warm-hearted whole souled man who leads his neighbor up to the bar and urges him to par take of that which may deprive him of situation self-respect and reputa tion reflection does not improve the complexion of this worse burlesque upon liberality to the sad effects of which there are thousands of wretch ed monuments to be seen in every large city even though stripped ofits ruinous ly injurious features the custom of treating would yet be a ridiculous one imagine its application to the pur chase cf other commodities than li quor and cigars think how ludic rous would be the proposition of a young man to his companion while they were promenading the pavement in the arcade of such an idea as this : ah come along i say and have a pair of spectacles with me i want to wet this new hat what if one of the company of young gentlemen on the street should say : now boys i want to set em up for the crowd come in and have a chromo or bracket or ometh ing with me !" yet which would be more valuable to a man and his family chromos brackets and even spectacles or li quor enough to make him drunk it is a lamentable fact that treat ing is a custom as purely american as it is ruinous in its effects and yet with this as many other injuri ous practices people recognize and ac knowledge their evil influence and power but will not abandon or con demn them because they happen to be customs largely observed by those who have the name of being generous and shunned by the stingy hard-fisteal class veto n amber three a summary of the message which mr hayes sent into congress yester day in returning to that body unsigned the legislative executive and judicial appropriation bill i to be seen in onr telegragphic columns this morning this message like the others is mere ly a campaign document and even as such will not carry much weight with it it does not lie in the mouth of mr hayes least of all men to make war upon tlie systein of tacking poli tical legislation upon appropriation bills since he has voted in congress in favor of this very thing and it doesn't stand any republican in hand mr hayes nor any one else to argue that supervision of elections is nec essary to maintain their purity see ing that that party has never exercis ed this supervision in the past except for the purpose of falsifying public sentiment as expressed at the polls upon this point mr hayes's theory is very excellent as a tlteory but the people know to their cost what it means when put into practical opper ation the veto
